A person who actually knows how to wear clothes...they would look good in any clothes. You see this especially at the Academy Awards. Even if the dresses are beautiful and expensive and important, the actresses can't always carry them. Sometimes I feel like saying to them, "Act! You know how to act, you're an actor.

I say have the night and give people the awards, but why do people want to watch people win awards? What are they getting out of it? I don't quite get it.
